Hi All! I’m Rich from Windsor, CT. I grew up loving the original [Ghostbusters movie](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/movies) having seen it in its original theatrical release. I went to Comic-Con in 2016 and saw a display from a company called Anovos who were selling replica movie costumes and props and they had a pre-order going for a [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) kit. Well I ordered the kit and it took about 2 years for it to finally arrive in 2018. It was a very frustrating time and to tell you the truth I had lost interest and considered just selling it on ebay since the price had gone up to $950.

The box sat unopened in my office and wound up buried under other boxes for another two years and along came a virus! While working from home the box called to me… and I decided to finally go forward with the build. I stumbled across this site while trying to find some instructions, additional/better parts, and possibly advice from other members who may have gone down this path..

I did order the light and sound kit and some other parts from this site which I am anxiously waiting to arrive. It is all supposed to ship on May 22. Fingers crossed.

It’s nice to meet all of you and I hope we get to exchange ideas and experiences!

Rich

Welcome aboard, Rich!

Glad to hear you’re giving the kit a go to keep yourself occupied during Lockdown. All being well it should head out around the estimate date, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask. 🙂

Name is John. I am new to this site. For years I have always wanted to have my own pack. With all going on with staying home I thought I would atleast start to begin buying parts as needed to begain a build. I am on a budget since surgery back in March but If I could get guidence on a way to buy parts seperate and what I need to build one. I am thinking of buying the shell and [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) first then each week buying parts as needed to collect them all in order to put it all together. Any help would be awesome. I know this build may be a slow process for me but looking forward on having a finished product by end of year with some help from friends.

Hi,

I know this is probably a very dumb question but I am interested in ordering the wand bezel kit from Spongeface but I’m not sure how to do it. I went to a page where other people were looking to buy the kit as well and posted a message there but I haven’t heard anything. Is there a direct link to a site to buy it?

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Rich
